Time to apply for the CELT Miller Faculty Fellowship Program (Teaching Tip)

The Miller Faculty Fellowship, in existence at Iowa State University since 1996, is a competitive grant program that supports faculty members to “enhance their scholarly work in the university’s undergraduate academic programs and develop innovative approaches to enhance student learning.”  

 

CELT is now accepting proposals for 2022-2023 Miller Faculty Fellowships with the deadline of Monday, December 13, 2021. 

 

Funding for 2022-2023 will include three categories of grants: 

 

For 25 years, the Miller Fellowship Program has funded over $3 million dollars worth of projects to over 250 faculty within each university’s colleges. Previous Miller Faculty Fellows note that the funding improved their undergraduate teaching and furthered their professional development with proof of concept seed funding for external grants and opportunities to present and publish their work. 

 

One former Miller Faculty Fellowship recipient shared:

“Since the Miller Funding, I have written three articles and am currently composing a book. I have also written and obtained a grant from an external agency. This work all stemmed from the initial Miller grant funding.”

With a joy for teaching,
